IPC: C25D15/02
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for plating the surface of polymer materials with a metal film by treating the surface of polymer materials with cold plasma method to introduce hydrophilic functional groups and then plating the surface of polymer materials with a metal film according to the electroless plating method. The cold plasma treatment reduces the contact angle of the surface of polymer materials to water by 5 to 60°. The surface of polymer materials can be more efficiently plated with the metal film by the additional step of either immersing the polymer material into an organic solvent for 0.1 to 5 minutes or washing the polymer material with ultrasonic washing machine after introducing the hydrophilic functional groups by treatment with cold plasma. The plating method according to the present invention is very stable and readily applicable and can endow new properties which are not possessed by the polymer material itself, including improved appearance quality, improved mechanical properties, improved heat resistance and durability, decrease of absorptivity, rendering the conductivity of heat and electric current, soldering ability and electromagnetic wave shielding effect, etc., to the polymer material. The polymer materials treated by the method according to the present invention have improved performance and can be used in various industrial fields for shielding electromagnetic wave generated from the information processing equipments, preparing printed circuit boards, various forms of electrodes, and antistatic boards and the like.
